Fleeing for his life, Brad Evans escapes Manhattan and hides in a trailer
in the country. There he writes an exposé of Phasmatia, the world’s first
great internet religion, and its megalomaniacal unholy messiah, Sky
Fisher.
eBook ISBN 978-1-926577-18-0 As one of the trio of ad men who created Phasmatia, Evans knows where all the skeletons are buried, and is ready to tell all—provided he manages to live long enough. His close friend and co-conspirator, Stan Shiu, whose technical genius helped spark the religion's rapid rise, has already been murdered by Sky Fisher's retinue of killer monks. Now they're searching for Evans. The whistle-blower recounts the religion's genesis and its growth from a get-rich-quick Dot-Com scheme to the Next Big Thing that spreads like wildfire over the web … and the planet. He also exposes the corruption and power lust that festers at the top, even while his hope for a potential new era of spirituality and faith burns brightly.
The events in this gripping novel could well pop up on
your computer screen tomorrow. Our wired age of social networks, virtual worlds,
and media manipulation is examined in the context of humankind's timeless need
for spiritual sustenance and divine hope. |
